Hello cosmic

Had a go at this method this morning.  I had slept 7 hours and was not really planing to go back to sleep, I just wanted to practice the method.  I ended up doing it for an hour because I thought I might be entering a WILD.  I have never had a WILD nor attempted one.  Actually I only found out about them a couple of days ago, in fact I only read about the whole concept of lucid dreaming a few days ago (although I have always been able to have DILDs when I wanted by repeating 'know your dreaming' in my head, I just never knew what they were and that people had taken the phenomenon to levels I had never imagined).  Anyway, I stared to see flashing yellow and white patterns that were swirling (not really colours, just light patterns).  Also, my muscels were shaking my arms and fingers up and down without my telling them to.  But after about an hour I figured that was as far as it was going to go so I quit.

I was feeling a bit sleepy after that so I thought, what the hell I will see if I can go back to sleep and have a lucid dream without repeating 'know you are dreaming' as I drift off.  I started runing through what I was going to write about the experience on this thread.  I did it as diologue in my head as if I was talking to someone.  Then something very strange happened.  I suddenly was walking up a path next to a building and was actually talking to someone about it.  At first everything was dark and blury but within a couple of steps it was crystal clear and a beautiful bright sunny day.  I had totaly forgotten that I was actually laying in bed and all my conciousnes was know in the 'dream'.  Then someone else stepped over from the building and for some reason I knew that they were the head of a lucid dreaming camp which was where we were.  They said 'and this is where James is staying' and pointed to a tent on the lawn.  I was a bit confused but then 'realised' it was where I had been living for quite a while.  The other person asked me if I payed rent and at first I was confused then I remembered it was all free and told them.  I then snapped out of it, I think due to a loud noise from outside.

So what was this?  I wasn't even very tired and I normally take a long time to get to sleep even when I am exhasted.  I went from lying down with intention to go to sleep, running through a dialogue in my head and then continuing this dialogue in a 'dream' without having any idea that I was actually laying in bed in a matter of minutes (or even seconds).  Was this a WILD???  Eveything I have read suggests that it was, but the only thing is that I didn't know I was dreaming.  I was totally engulfed in the 'dream' with no lucidity.  Or would I soon have become lucid had I not been snapped out of it by the noise?

If it was a WILD then this method is truley amazing as I didn't even know what one was untill a couple of days ago and I wasn't even trying to do a WILD.

Look foward to peoples comments on this.  

Cheers.  I suspected as much with regards to interacting to heavily with hallucinations. A question - I have never experienced SP.  Is it a prerequisite to WILD or can one enter a WILD without realising SP?
